As part of celebrating the rich culture and diversity in Africa, the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCAs) will feature a special event to showcase exceptional fashion talent on the continent. The debut edition of the AMVCA Runway Show is in partnership with Africa’s leading beauty and style platform, BellaNaija Style.

Executive Head, Content and West Africa Channels, MultiChoice Nigeria, Dr. Busola Tejumola said, “From costumes to red carpets, the role that fashion plays in film cannot be overestimated. Our continent is blessed with some of the most talented fashion designers and creatives you will find anywhere in the world. This is why, in line with our commitment to continually support local talents, we are beaming the spotlight on this very important element of film for this edition of the awards.”
